A Washington dispatch gives the pleasant
information that the present honest and vigor-
GUS national administration Of public affairs

state. The telegram reads as follows

thorough and exhaustive investigation Of the
Willamette valley and Cascade mountain
wagon road, The Dalles military wagon road
and the Oregon Central wagon road, in the
state Of Oregon, especially as to whether those
roads have been constructed, and whether or
not the certificates Of the governor Of the

false and fraudulent representations made hy
parties interested in obtaining said lands. The
secretary has appointed John B. McNan1e,
of Cleveland, Ohio. now of the adjutant gen.
erals Office, 10 represent the department on

The BeO.nntm1 Of the End.

The beginning of disease is slight debility
or disorder of some of the vital organs, the
stomach, the liver or the bowels usually.
There are dyspeptic symptoms, the liver is
troublesome, the skin grows tawny and un-
healthy looking, there are pains in the right
side OF through the right shoulder blade. The
climax is often an utter prostration of the ply
sical energies, perhaps fatal issue. But if
the difficulty is met in time with Hostetter's s
Stomach Bitters, which is always effective as
a remedy, and it should be resorted to at an
early stage, there will be no reason to appre-
hend those injurious subsequent effects upon
the system often entailed by entirely cured
diseases. Far better is ii also, to employ this
safe remedial agent in fever and ague, and
other malarial complaints, than quinine and
other potent drugs, which, even when they
do prove effectual for time, ruin the stomach
and impair the general health.

EAST PORTLAND.
BRIGHT PROSPECTS REPORTED FOR THAT
ENTERPRISING CITY.

TIE REVIEW is always pleased to speak a
good word for any neighboring city, and
calls attention TO the glowing great expecta
tions Of East Portland, as voiced by the Star
Of that place. Here is the item:
east Portland is probably the most pros
porous town in Oregon. 1t has excellent
manufacturing facilities and such have but
recently been placed to practical test. As
a location for residence, it offers many excep-
tional inducements, and in view of the fact
that many Portlanders whose business is loca-
ted on the other side prefer a residence in
East Portland, it is but matter Of little time
when ours will be the city. In the course of
few months, East Portland will be illumin-
atcd with electric lights, and haye railroads
connecting with all places in our vicinity.
New business will spring up, and every avail
able space will be occupird by thrift and toll.
Our enterpnsing ferry company will run line
Of horse cars to Selwood, Vancouver and AL.
bina, not ignoring Mount Tabor, and many
other places. We can likewise reasonably
expect to see Oregon City and East Portland
united by street railway, and pleasant ex-
cursions and picnic resorts located between
the wo cities. We will guarantee a rcmun-
erative return upon any investment in East
ortland, that cannot be cquallcd elsewhere
Many eastern capitalists seeking investments,
will find a richer harvest in store for them in
our locality, than in any other part Of the
country. Now is the time, and the watch

The Dallas Itemizer is making itself ri
diculous shouting over the Kelly lynching,
and vociferiating the query, "Is Polk county

deprecates mob violence, lynching and other
crimes, still Kelly deserved hanging and the

IIlc DdCks WE'LL WITHOUT DY-
Mr.. IL. Burney, ING WITHIN.
baggagmaster OF the Eastern Railroad,
declared that he hadused Hunts Remedy
in his family for long time, and would
not be without it. He had not only
found it good for kidney complaints "a
trouble with which all railroad men are
more or less affiicted) but his wife had
used it successfully in a severe case of
what was, apparently, dyspepsia.
The uniform testimony which was
given to the worth of this Remedy id
Boston was born out by equally strong
statements from residents in the sub.
urbs.
Mr.. Joseph Ct. Bicknell of Cambridge
port asserted that he had been a great
sufferer. The fluids he passed were thick
with brick dust sediment, and were
voided with the greatest pain. Within
four days from the time he began using
Hunts Remedy he passed gravel stone
larger than a pea, followed by other
smaller ones. A speedy cure was the
result, and he cannot recommend the
remedy too highly.
Mr.. George P. Cox, proprietor Of the
last factory at Maiden, had seen such
wonderful effects of Hunts Remedy
among so many of his relatives and
friends that he was enthusiastic in its
favor. He had not only used it himself
with the greatest benefit, but two cousins,
William W. and John f. Cox, had ex-
perienced untold relief. He would not
be without it If it cost s. bottle.
Such statements lead us to the inev-
table conclusion that, while Bright's
disease Of the kidneys is the concealed
and actual cause of many complaints
which bear other names, it can be both
met and cured. Let all readers look to
their condition at once, and thoroughly
convince themselves whether they are
or are not in perfect health, and then
use that means which has been proven,
and is known to be both pure, efficient,
and good.

THE COUNTY FAIR.
A CORRESPONDENT GIVES SOME INTEREST.
ING FACTS CONCERNING 1T.

EDITOR Having recently trav-
e1ed through the southwestern portion Of
Douglas county, have noted the following
facts. Crossing at Winston's ferry, found
large quantities of lumber and plank piled up
and other preparations being made TO com
mence the construction of the new county
bridge across the South Umpqua river. About
one mile from the ferry, found several men
and teams at work on the new fair grounds.
Nature seems to have designed this place for
public park or fair ground. w. Il. Wells
was experimenting the work and expressed
great confidence in the ultimate success Of the
enterprise. l might here mention that since
Mr.. Wells became a consistent Prohi, the
peop speak very highly of him. Meeting
Mr.. Brockway, who is president Of the "Agri-
cultural and Mechanical Union," of Douglas
county, got the names Of the officers Of the
assoc iation. Mr.. Brockway is an old settler
and well-to-do farmer having served this
county in the state Legislature, and also as
commissioner. E. H. Lenox, the secretary,
is young, energetic farmer and graduate
of Portland Business College. The financial
agent is James Byron, French gentleman
from Cork, whose energies were developed in
the charging squadrons of Phil Sheridan, and
will not now be repulscd by an Oregonian-
his business is to sell stock and he sells it.
The company's treasurer was well chosen, it
is James Davlin, successful prudent farmer
and fnancier. James billiard, w. G. Wins
ton and Jeptha Green are Of the board Of
managers. They are strong, honest successful
men. So you see, Mr. Editor, that with such
men as those for leaders the first county fair
must be a great success.
OTHER ITEMS.

and Camas Valley the spirit Of enterprise can
be observed everywhere. The crops are gen.
orally good, work very plentiful and money
more easily got than in the recent past. In
